Paperboy — About this game
Ride down a suburban street and throw papers to the homes that subscribe to your route. Accurate deliveries keep customers, while missed houses and crashes threaten the week’s work. Traffic, pedestrians and unexpected obstacles make steering as important as throwing. Bundles of newspapers replenish your supply, so collecting them lets you keep delivering farther down the street. Subscribers and non-subscribers have different roles in scoring; watch the houses and choose the right moment to throw rather than firing continuously.
